Welcome to NYC Initiative

The Welcome to NYC Initiative is committed to providing vital support for individuals and families as they transition to the dynamic city of New York from Lancaster, NY. Our program offers essential resources and guidance in navigating the complexities of moving, ensuring newcomers feel welcomed and informed. We specialize in legal services, including initial assessments, know-your-rights education, legal referrals, and fraud protection advice. Moreover, we offer a range of non-legal support, including self-help materials, case management, interpretation and translation services, travel assistance, and access to medical and mental health services. Our initiative also addresses essential needs, connecting newcomers to food assistance, clothing resources, housing solutions, and public benefits access to foster a smooth integration into their new community.
